"Daddy, can't I please try to sit next to the fire?"
Not sure who is more engaged- if you look closely, you can see little Paul crunched up investigating something in Kaitlyn's new play house!
The gang on Christmas Eve....
At least for now I can play with it by myself....
Paul opening up the introduction to his new bike- a new helmet!
How nice of Gram and BB to have a huge basement for me to test out my bike in the winter!
Kaitlyn wasn't far behind!
Gram and BB opening up their "Moose Lodge" moose glasses... lots of fun.
Paul and I opening our gifts from the kids which they picked out at the Gettysburg craft fair.
Kaitlyn and Uncle Ryan playing with one of her favorite gifts- a teapot from Uncle Ry! There ha been lots of coffee and tea made, and served, in our house this week.
Paul and Uncle Ry playing Candy Land. We're still not sure if they really followed the rules....
Bring on Play Doh! Making ice cream cones with Uncle Chris.
Opening Kaitlyn's first Cabage Patch baby from Aunt Megan and Uncle Chris (which she is constantly checking to see if it has a 'poopy diaper' so it's often naked!)
Another of Kaitlyn's favorite toys- a shopping cart! She filled it up for several days (especially on Christmas day) with anything she could find... somehow it was empty at this moment.
Please note a few things in the following picture... Paul is in his 2nd set of PJ's on Christmas morning (Spider Man PJ's- which he put on in the living room immediately after opening them... yes, he got naked at 11am and changed without a blink of an eye in front of all of us!) as well as the scarf to their snowman decorating kit ... Kaitlyn is wearing a pair of plaid pants and a polka-dot jacket which were also gifts (from Uncle Ryan and Santa)- most gifts had to be put on immediately!
Paul's newest Eli Manning Jersey from his Uncles!
Uncle Ryan and Daddy need to go to Lego school- it took a LONG time to put together the Toy Story car!
This is on Christmas Eve- Paul set out cookies for Santa and some carrots for the reindeer. He told us that Rudolph was allowed into our house to keep Santa safe.
We also had a fun visit with Aunt Kerry- which resulted in a long game of Toy Story Memory (thanks, Aunt Katherine) and the building (and playing with) an awesome Lego fire truck.
The kids opened their presents in under 15 minutes, so we're hoping to delay their warp-speed unwrapping a bit on Christmas morning in 2 days! 
The kids both 'tried on' some of their new clothes, including pj's for Paul with a red canoe and moose and a cozy purple fleece for Kaitlyn. She also "HAD" to put on her ladybug slippers. Unlike the male Redferns, she enjoyed trying on every item of clothing... Paul III this year opened up some clothes, and in classic Redfern male fashion, handed the box to daddy without much interest!
Nana and Kaitlyn at dinner.
Pop Pop and Paul playing with one of the favorites- a fuzzy, squeezy orange ball.
We also got to meet Lauren and Dave Ahlert's adorbable little guy, Logan... he was all smiles during our visit along with Aunt Terri and Uncle Lou.
Paul and Uncle Ryan made sure that Uncle Ry's fish was getting some attention too.
The kids also made sure to check out all of the singing and dancing items. 
Although not the best picture, I have to share it... Paul did give Santa his Christmas list and this is the closest he's gotten so far to Santa (at the College's holiday party last Monday he clung to me and was close enough for me to ask Santa where the reindeer where staying while he was at the party- but no farther) and since he was so scared he made usually-brave Kaitlyn very cautious (note that I am with her in the picture).
